INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROLS SENIOR LEAD DESIGNER
EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Responsible for conceptual and detailed design of Instrumentation /
Electrical power, and control systems for various analyzer packages,
process instrumentation and power plant systems. Design included one-line
diagrams, trip tables, ac/dc protection control schematics & wiring
diagrams for line, breaker and transformer protection circuits. Implement
substation automation and data acquisition systems i.e. Scada. Also layout
design of all physical instrument panel and relay racks and associated
detail drawings. Generated instrument location & tube routing plans, loop
diagrams, P&ID'S, logic diagrams and development of control wiring diagrams
(cwd's) in conjunction with DCS system design. Developed schematics for
motor controls, field instrumentation control, graphic display panels,
annunciator panels, and critical process instrumentation from P & ID
drawings. Other areas of design include switchrack assembly, underground
duct banks, grounding, and cable splicing. Design also involved selection
of equipment, calculations for sizing motor loads, feeder sizing, voltage
drop, balance lighting loads, heat tracing, and conduit fill. Prepared all
drawings for one-line diagrams, schematic diagrams, interconnection wiring
diagrams, physical equipment layouts, and all necessary detail drawings.
Also acted as field liaison for construction coordination of projects.
